I’m in Northeast Texas, close to the state border. Dallas isn’t too far of a drive. Neither is Tyler. I have a nice primary doctor. It all just comes back to money unfortunately for me to move forward with this. But I’m going to dig into it further.

Then I would make an appointment with your primary care and they can refer you to a hematologist. Likely they would do blood work to check for gene mutations, but for sure they will get you on hydrea to get your platelets down to a lower level. You are VERY young to have this problem and needto geta handle on it before you do start having the really bad symptoms (stroke/heart attack).
